Eight o'clock in the evening may be the time when nightlife has just begun in other cities, but it is not the case here.
Darkness enveloped the entire city, and the bustling streets during the day had disappeared, leaving only empty streets and corners where shadows lurked. It was like an incomplete painting, with countless details blurred in the night.
Like a reflection of people's deepest fears.
The figure staggered, walking alone under the city night, and the shadows were illuminated very long by the street lights.
He stopped at the bottom of a dilapidated old building. He raised his head and looked at the pavilion with a somewhat dazed look on his face.
He remembered that he had been to this place before, and maybe it was a place that was very important to him. So much so that even when he couldn't remember who he was, he still vaguely remembered this place.
There are some fragments in my mind. There are sad ones, angry ones, involving a dirty child, a crying woman and a vicious man.
He had a splitting headache and a feeling of nausea in his stomach. The figure staggered twice more and leaned on the lamppost next to him, feeling dizzy in his head.
"Sir? Do you need help?"
A police officer came close to him. But the figure did not respond, still holding on to the lamppost. Broken memories seemed to be fragments of past lives impacting his brain, and bursts of pain were like two battering rams hitting his temples.
"gentlemen?"
The Sheriff put his hand on his shoulder.
Then at that moment, the Sheriff's pupils shrank, his whole body froze as if he was electrocuted, and his body stiffened and began to twitch.
The moment he touched it, he felt that all the strength in his body disappeared, and the essence of life poured down his arm towards the shoulder.
The Sheriff's eyes widened in horror, and he tried hard to withdraw his arm, but found that he couldn't do it. Even the frightened scream was stuck in his throat, and even his vocal cords seemed to be twitching in despair.
After perhaps the longest second in his life, the Sheriff's whole body went completely limp, like a piece of dry wood that had been drained of moisture. The black wrinkled skin was tightly wrapped around the bones, and he slid down miserably.
The ground immediately became silent.
This scene was seen by passers-by who didn't know where they were. The screams attracted the attention of the surrounding people. The figure turned around and saw the limp police officer on the ground. He also felt that someone seemed to be taking photos and cameras in his direction.
I feel more fear.
He remembered.
This is a city of fear, and it has been like this since ancient times. Everyone is always afraid, afraid that the bad economy will take away their jobs, afraid that diseases will take away their intimate lives, afraid to go out, afraid of encountering misfortunes, and afraid of being crushed by life.
Too much fear makes the night in the city darker. Women cry in the corner all day long, fearing that every day may be the last day.
"You, stand there and don't move."
Someone called him back to his senses again.
The figure turned around and saw a man in a black trench coat, who had a temperament that was different from others. He looked cautious and was talking to someone through his built-in system.
"This is the 'Falling Stone', Specialist of Sky Eye Sequence B. Uncertified transcendent beings have been found and casualties have been caused. We are now ready to try to contact and control them."
The figure looked at him confused.
The Eye of Heaven knows?
The name made a vague impression on him.
He didn't remember the specific incident, nor did he remember any festivals. But he vaguely remembered that this seemed to be the enemy.
The figure's eyes became fierce little by little, and he looked at the Sky Eye Commissioner like a vigilant beast.
He rushed up after him.
The speed was quite fast, even among the ranks of extraordinary beings. It was certainly not low in rank. If he hadn't been prepared in advance, Luoshi knew that this blow might have been successful.
But he was already prepared. Before the opponent could sprint, he suddenly leaned over and slammed his palm onto the ground.
It was an extremely simple movement, but it seemed to have left a deep imprint on the ground. The empty road seemed to be jumping and roaring in response to this simple beat, and even the air seemed to be mixed with earth elements and became unprecedentedly heavy.
The earth wall rose up from the ground, like a layer of iron plate given by God, lying in front of the falling rocks. The human figure hit the wall like an out-of-control cheetah, causing a piece of the earth wall to dent on the outside, but
In the end, we couldn't break through.
As the heart of falling stone moved, Chao Chao continued to move. The earth continued to change under the operation of his power, and the soil rose up like rolling waves, forming an indestructible circle in an instant, with three layers inside and three outside.
The figure was completely wrapped in layers.
There were two muffled sounds briefly inside, which sounded like the sound of a huge impact on the cage. But the solid cage remained motionless, with no signs of loosening except for the slightest trace of dust falling.
Commissioner Luo Shi smiled softly.
This is natural. He is a Sequence B earth element control transcendent. Although it seems that the thing wrapped around him is ordinary soil, it is actually a special material mixed with his transcendence. The texture is stronger than steel.
Stronger. If there is no powerful enough destructive extraordinary, it is obviously a fool's errand to break through with physical strength alone.
After two clicks, there was soon no movement inside. Luoshi let out a long breath and immediately connected the communication.
"It's me. The alarm has been lifted. The out-of-control transcendent has been controlled by me." He said, "Yes, it seems that a security guard has been sucked dry by him. I need a aftermath team and a medical team here.
Yep, sucked it dry, just like a couple of similar incidents last week. Looks like we found the culprit.
boom.
There was another bombardment.
Luo Shi stopped talking and turned to look at the cage beside him warily.
This is his specially reinforced cage. He had previously observed the opponent's ability level and it should be impossible to break through.
boom!
Another sound.
Then Luoshi saw in horror that the earth elemental prison he had built collapsed.
It shrinks inward with a point as the center, as if it is sucked in.
What ability is this?
There was no room for thinking. After the second sound, the entire dungeon fell apart. It was as if some extremely powerful gravity had destroyed its entire structure from the inside, and a large number of collapsed earth and rocks were crushed into powder under the huge force.
, being continuously sucked into a certain point in the center.
The next moment, the afterimage broke out from inside.
The speed was even more exaggerated than before, and there was no time to react. A terrifying palm spread its fingers and pressed Luoshi's face.
The Sky-Eye agent's eyes widened, and all his strength and extraordinary powers seemed to disappear in an instant. He felt like a pinched sponge, and every last drop of water in his body was ruthlessly squeezed dry.
Until he became the same person as the security guard and was thrown aside.
The figure threw him aside and let out a long breath.
He still couldn't remember many things. But he remembered one of the most important things in his mind.
People live to plunder.
Whether it's wealth or power, if you don't grab it, it will always become someone else's. And those who take away the power will not be grateful for the opportunities you have left to them. They will only use the power they have obtained to the best of their ability.
Squeeze you further into adulthood.
Either plunder or lose. You must follow this law to live.
The image of a woman once again appeared in his mind.
Helpless, powerless, having lost everything, I can only cry in the corner.
Thinking of this, his face turned as hard as iron.
